The Castlegar Garden Club hosts the Annual Castlegar & Area Garden Tour in the latter part of June; always on the Sunday following Father's Day. Approximately ten gardens in Castlegar and the surrounding communities are featured in this self-guided tour. Admission is by donation to the local charity selected for that year.

It's impossible to deny the magic of the Annual Castlegar & Area Garden Tour. Atmospheric and enthralling; a sense of exhilaration permeates. There's something thrilling, heartening, and inspiring about a day's sojourn through an eclectic mix of gardens. One can only marvel at the horticultural expertise and creativity behind the resplendent gardens. Images and inspirations will linger with you for days. This is your chance to discover the hidden garden treasures that abound.

The sound of flute music by the Wind River Flute Quartet wafts above the gardens, bringing reminiscences of a bygone era. Often local artists and art is featured in one of the gardens.

Garden Tour map brochures are available locally in June at multiple locations throughout Castlegar.
